Street dance

1.
Street dance
Different styles for street dancing
Street dance has different styles, such as breakings, popping,
breakdance and locking are arguably the most popular street dance
styles.
Evaluation on street dance performance as a whole group
I find our dance group evaluation in a whole quite well, although
some mistakes needed doing with but other from that we had a
fantastic dance performance an example from being a bit sloppy
where silly dance moves and not much people put their 100% effort
into the dance performance, I think that some people should have
been more energetic and enthusiastic when cheering for their dance
group, as we split into two groups.
Our dance performance was unique as it was based on ‘City life’ we
used different dance techniques such as different dance moves
which relate to ‘City Life’. We had one dance move of us pretending
that we had a watch and another with us holding a business book
and turning the pages also we used a lot of technology, as we all had
to act like robots, we acted as robots so that we would stand out as a
street dance group and be unique from other street dance groups
that stick to the same thing locking, breaking and popping.
As a group we used the space we had well an example for this is
when Michael and Khatra used both ends of the space we had. We
were presented out in a V shape so everybody could be seen in the
dance performance as we filmed it. Our dance performance also
contained props an example for this is when Michael and Khatra
wore Era hats and Sara had her nerdy glasses and we done that to
show what person we were acting like in the dance performance.

The music we choose for our dance performance related on what our
dance was about ‘City life’. The song rock your body has a lot of
technology in the video and as we are doing ‘City life’ it relates to the
song. We done a robotic street dance performance because we
wanted our dance to suit the music obviously and as a group we all
stayed in time with the music although there should have been more
exaggeration.
The exaggeration being in count was roughly less than it should have
been, from my personal opinion I would say that out of 10 people
around 4 people weren’t listening as a group, weren’t in time in the
performance and didn’t put the main rule for drama exaggeration.
We as a dance group done well in overall from presenting, music,
timing and doing the key moves and being robotic although a few
mistakes.
Ideas for dance
We had many ideas from what props should we use, choosing the
genre, choosing the music and the key thing dance moves. Our dance
moves where based on city life an example for this reading a
business book, pretending by having a watch (time) as we know time
is a key point for City life as we showed in our dance performance
